GREATEST DURABILITY,
IMPROVED METHOD OF STRINGING.
The Strings being directly secured to the iron
frame by metal faSteningS, will not require tun-
ing one-Quarter as often as Pianos on the old
system
This new mode of piano construction was in
vented and introduced by Mason & Hamlin in
1882 and has been fully tested and proved, many
excellent experts having pronounced it the
greatest improvement made in pianos of the
century"
For fifty years manufacturers have realized
the disadvantages of WreSt- pins set in wood to
fasten the strings of pianos and have been seek
ing to find some better way of securing them
Especially has this been the case in Europe
where number of patents have been taken out
for devices securing the strings by metal fasten-
ngs directly to the plates. Until the invention
of the Mason G Hamlin Co. not one of these has
proved practically successful: but the constant
striving of piano-forte makers for this improve
ment shows its Importance. The lack of re-
liability of iron set in wood to faSten the strings
securely, exactly and permanently has been the
most serious difficulty OF plano making from the
beginning, Not forgetting or Understanding
the great improvements effected from time to
time in pianos, or the great excellence recently
attained by best makers, it yet remains that the
improvement of greatest Importance of all,
without which very highest excellence could not
be attained, has not been successfully accom-
pliShed until now
Every piano of their manufacture will Illus
trate that very highest excellence which has al
ways characterized their Organs, and won for
them highest awards at every great worlds in

A NOTED LIE.
Origin OF the Saying "And IL Wasn't
Day for Ducks, Either"

In 1860, year before the war, n party OF
Northern Illinois hunters hied themselves TO
the lakes of Minnesota for an annual duck
hunt OF few weeks, making the journey 10
ST. Paul, which was at that time but little
more than a frontier village, by n steamer
from Dubuque, Ia. Among the party was
n chap named Traux, a powerful liar, but a
jolly gool-natured fellow withal, whose
predominant weakness was readily excused,
il not entirely overlooked, by those who
knew him well. Abe, that being his first
name, seemed 10 struggle more recklessly
and naturally with the truth when talking
about his prowess as hunter OF game than
on any other subject. One day, az the
steamer was plowng its way through Lake
Pepin, number Of the male passengers
were seated forward on the boiler deck i'm
little knots passing the time away In con-
versation. Abe was a prominent figure In
one of the groups and had already astonish-
ed himself fairly by the whoppers he had
successfully got off, when the mission
which himself and friends were ont on, was
adverted 10.
I've shot a few ducks in my time, broke
in Abe, during a momentary lull in the
talk.
How many did you ever kill in one
day p queried cross-eyed passenger from
down about Burlington.
You may not believe me, sir replied
Traux, but in the late fall of 20 went
out alone one morning about seven miles
with my dog and gun and brought home
200 ducks by actual count, and II wasn't a
very good day for ducks, either p
You did that all alone in one trip %
asked the cross-eyed man as he put down
some figures on an envelope with n pencil
he had carelessly taken from his vest-pock-
et
'Yes, SIR, did, said Traux, with tinge
of ill-humor 10 his tone.
Those ducks would weigh about two and
a half pounds apiece, wouldn't they p cas-
ually remarked the Burlington man, as he
kept ON making characters with his pencil.
Il should say they would, remarked the
unsuspecting Abe.
We'll, then, said the persistent querist,
you killed just $50 pounds Of ducks, and IL
you can tell me how one man was able to
lug that weight seven miles, and carry a
gun at the same time, you can do some
thing that no other liar in the Northwest
can match
Abe reflected n minute, and with That's
n whopper, isn't 1t, gentlemen p he invited
the whole party in TO the bar to take some
thing at his expense
The remark, And it wasn't good day
for ducks, either, was used banteringly ON
Traux during the remainder Of the trip, and
In time IL became common on the Mississip-
pi, whence it spread until it became one of
the proverbial Americanisms of the times.

keen thrust of nabaja into the back of

she do the other night but bring home
watchman's rattle and q pair of
cymbals. She didn't say anything
until her husband came home and sat
down to dinner. He began to ask
the blessing, and she wishing to hear
his remarks began to bang away ON
the cymbals. He stopped right in

her wrathfully if she was crazy to
